Abstract
Demand curves for sport fishing on the Au Sable, and Jordan Rivers of Michigan are presented. Data were insufficient to estimate a curve for the Red Cedar. The best estimate of the demand curve for the entire recreation experience using the Au Sable River for sport fishing is given. Demand curves for the use of the sport fishery are derived from these curves. The value of the sport fishery is defined as the area under the demand curve for the resource alone which represents the aggregate willingness to pay for use of the resource for sport fishing. The data used were collected in statewide surveys of licensed anglers conducted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 1970 and 1971. (Modified author abstract)
